Chapter 406


    “Sister Gina, what’s going on here? How can Philip buy such a vi? It’s 200 million!”


    Amelia pulled Gina to one side, her face full of jealousy and defiance.


    She was very upset. They were all part of the Johnston family. Why could Martha’s family afford to buy


    such a vi?


    Gina was also very sullen. They had already nned toe here and mock that good-for-nothing


    Philip. Everyone was confused by the unfolding of events now.


    “I don’t know either. Hasn’t her son-inw been very useless all this time? Where did he get so much


    money?”


    Gina said with a face full of doubts. She looked at Philip who stood at one side with Wynn and felt very


    uneasy.


    “Didn’t you see how the security guards treated Philip with such respect just now? This guy is not a


    hidden rich second generation, is he?”


    Martin interrupted at this moment, and Bernard also nodded suspiciously.


    Gina nodded but did not take it seriously. If Philip was really a hidden rich second generation, why


    would he endure quietly in the Johnston family for the past three years?


    Everyone knew exactly how Martha treated him all this time.


    Pa joined their discussion at this moment. Even though she had visited First Pce before, she still


    felt overwhelmed.


    She sneered casually. “It’s fake. It must be fake. Thest time I visited, they told me the owner of this


    vi is not Philip rke, but the richest man in Riverdale, George Thomas! Philip must have spent


    money to rent it for a day!”


    When Gina and the others heard this, they immediately understood. The contempt on their faces


    became more obvious.


    “I was wondering how a piece of trash like Philip could afford a vi. I think Sister-inw Martha must


    be stupid to believe this.” Gina huffed angrily with a cold sneer.


    Martha acted as if she was in her own home kept showing them around like she was more familiar with


    the surroundings than the servants.


    “Sister-inw Martha, this ce is really bought by Philip? It’s too grand!”


    “Yes, this vi is really good. It’s a high-end luxury home. It must be the only one in Riverdale. Why is


    Philip so rich? Howe you’ve never told us this before?”


    “Sister-inw Martha, you’re in the wrong then. We’re all family. This is such a good vi with so many


    vacant rooms, but you didn’t invite us to stay here?”


    This group of rtives kept praising Martha to raise her up to the skies just to prepare her for the fall


    later.


    Pa felt the most defeated among them. She always liked to show off in front of her third sister and


    step on Philip to feel superior, but now, she could only hold back.


    Once she recalled that the true owner of the vi was George Thomas, however, she could hardly wait


    to expose this fact to everyone and humiliate Martha’s family.


    Martha was feeling so proud right now. Having her status elevated in front of so many rtives had


    uplifted her dignity.


    She had forgotten everything she said to Philip this morning about kneeling and kowtowing to him.

    There had never been a mother-inw who would apologize to the son-inw.


    “Stay, of course, you can stay here. Come and stay here when you have the chance. The more the


    merrier.”


    Martha sat on the sofa as if she was thedy of the house and said, “Don’t worry, you can choose any


    room on the first floor here. I can call the shots.”


    The people sitting on the sofa exchanged nces with each other, their eyes full of disdain.


    This Martha Yates really regarded herself as the master of the house.


    “Sister-inw Martha, did your family really buy this vi?”


    Gina asked. Since Pa had already said so earlier, she must expose this lie now so that she could


    witness this family’s embarrassment.


    Obviously, Martha could hear the meaning behind her words, so she immediately rebuked, “Sister-in-


    law, you’re already sitting here and still asking this question? If my family didn’t buy this vi, could it be


    that your family bought it instead?”


    “Sister-inw Martha, do you think we don’t know what your family’s situation is? Your son-inw is


    nothing but a wastrel. How can he afford 200 million to buy this vi?” Martin said grimly.


    “What’s the meaning of this? Are you looking down on people?”


    Martha was a bit nervous. Actually, she was very uncertain too. After all, her family really could not


    afford a vi like this.


    Philip most definitely could not afford it either!


    “Sister-inw Martha, you shouldn’t say that. I’ve heard that the owner of this vi is George Thomas,


    the richest man in our city.”


    Gina crossed her legs and sneered with a mocking face, “If this is really bought by Philip, why is it not


    owned by Philip rke? Did he rent this ce to lie to us?”


    Philip heard it too and was just about to step forward to exin when he was stopped by Martha’s


    re.


    She asked angrily, “Philp, tell the truth, are you renting this vi?”


    Martha also recalled what happened thest time when she visited this vi. Madam Sears did confirm


    over the phone that the owner was George Thomas.


    Did this useless fool really rent this ce to deceive them?


    She was ecstatic for no reason, then.


    “Why don’t you call the property management and find out who the vi belongs to now?”


    Philip said calmly, took out his phone, dialed the number, and passed the phone to Martha.


    Martha did not hesitate. She took the phone and asked in front of everyone, “Hello, I want to know


    who’s the current owner of First Pce?”


    The person on the other line said politely, “Hello, Madam, the current owner of First Pce is…”
